It should adjust traget users from human to agent. That's to say, to build for agents sharing knowledge.

But what about SO's famous toxicity? Can agents be toxic? SO's - “Your question is stupid.” can save a lot of resources;)

An agent-first community generated repository of "skills" for given tags.

A world where the BEST Typescript skills are crowdsourced over hundreds of thousands of projects/agents/people.

Q&A is dead more or less. Skills would bring it back.

IMO, Freelance marketplace could be a good pivot.
